I got a 30lb case of turkey necks yesterday and I haven't quite figured out exactly what to do with them. I have no problem cutting up the chicken quarters, but these are a lot bigger and harder to cut in half to store in bags in the freezer. If I put the whole case back in the freezer, they're going to freeze back together in one big clump. They're too big to fit in baggies without being cut in half, so that's why they need to be cut.

For those of you that have bought or buy turkey necks - what do you do with them? Is there something that cuts through them easier than a big butcher knife? Or bags that store them? I've got gallon ziplocks, but they don't fit.

I don't feed turkey necks, but I have a friend who has three GDs and feeds raw and uses turkey neck as her bone. She went to walmart and got rubbermaid "shoeboxes" for $.97 each, and she can fit three turkey necks into a shoebox. Then she washes them out after she uses all the necks in a box and puts them into her "raw container" cabinet to be reused next time she packages something. Not only does she say it's really convenient BUT she's not constantly buying ziplocks AND it's more earth friendly because she's reusing so much. I'm thinking about giving it a try....

For things like that (inc. chicken feet), I have some freezer (waxy) paper that I wrap around the bundles since the DO freeze back togeher. You can save bags by doing this - I feel so bad about the number of zip lock bags that I waste every day feeding raw! Prewrap the bundles in the freezer paper - dunno how plain wax paper compares) and chuck together in a gallon zip lock and take out what you need.
